When you all say that there are some good cops out there you are absolutely right. I do not think righteousfight was saying that ALL cops are dirty. And police officers are some of the most unsupported, underappreciated people there are. Few people have any idea what a police officer and his family goes through everyday. The problem with this police department isn't with those good honest cops who are trying to do their job the very best way they know how. The problem is that the good cops are often discouraged from doing their jobs. They can enforce laws IF those criminals don't have professional or recreational relationships with any higher ranking officers or detectives. Let an HONEST cop make that mistake or heaven help him if he damages one of the city's precious police cars while chasing someone who broke the law and he will most certainly be on administrative suspension.

I think ALL of you have really valid points. Mrs. Thinblueline, I know your husband appreciates your loyalty. Seems like you are a good model of what a police wife should be. But do encourage him to watch his back because some of his brothers and sisters might not. Especially if he makes the mistake of catching any of their business associates.

By the way I've never been arrested and have an immense amount of respect and appreciation for the GOOD officers who serve and protect our city and don't steal from drug dealers.

Before you blame every officer you need the whole story. Whoever you are you have no clue about the men and women of the Laurinburg Police Department nd who they are. This department doesn't have a chance with citizens like you backing them. Do what they do,deal with what they deal with.Then post a comment. I'm so sick of all the negativity on our Pd. When you need them I bet you call. One thing I do know is the police department has no support. No positive support. I am the wife of a fine police officer and I promise you you have no clue what you are talking about. Our new cheif interim or not is going to do a great job for Laurinburg. You can believe he is going to be fair. Its a sad day to see the citizens here not supportmy husband everyltime he goes to work puts his life on the line for citizens who really don't care or are the cause. Its people like you that give scotland county a bad name.

IN REGARDS TO RIGHTEOUSFIGHT BOGUS AND SLANDEROUS COMMENTS, IN REFERENCE THE LAURINBURG POLICE DEPT AND THE TWO OFFICERS WERE MENTIONED, IT IS A DISGRACE FOR YOU TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO PROTECT AND SERVE THIS AREA. I AM EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND I AM HIGHLY OFFENDED THAT YOU WOULD SAY SUCH A LOW DOWN ROTTEN THING. ALL OF US PUT OUR LIVES ON THE LINE TO PROTECT TOTAL STRANGERS EVERYDAY, AND THIS IS THE KIND OF BULL THAT IS SAID. UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T CHOOSE WHO WE HELP; SO IN HELPING THE GOOD WE ALSO HAVE TO HELP THE UNDESERVING & UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE SUCH AS RIGHTEOUSFIGHT. THANK FOR SHOWING THE LEVEL OF SCUM THAT WE END UP HELPING. HOWEVER, WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO OUR JOBS AS BEST AS POSSIBLE EVEN WITH THE SLANDER AND UNGRATEFULNESS OF PEOPLE SUCH AS YOURSELF. TRUTH BE TOLD YOU ARE PROBABLY SOMEONE WHO THEY HAVE ARRESTED. DESPITE YOUR REMARKS IF YOU CALL FOR ANY EMERGENCY DEPT THEY WILL STILL RESPOND AND TRY TO HELP, EVEN IF IT COSTS THEM THEIR LIFE & LIVELY HOOD. you WILL BE LUCKY IF THE DEPT AND THE OFFICERS NAMED INDIVIDUALLY DO NOT PRESS CHARGES OF SLANDER AGAINST YOU.
